1969's "The Damned."

Looks and feels so familiar. For the "It can't happen here" crowd. (English w/ Spanish subtitles)

A few years later, Dirk Bogarde and Charlotte Rampling went on to make another movie together - "The Night Porter."

"Martin" is one of the most morally debauched characters in film history. I don't think there is anything this Jarrod, Don Jr. or Eric look-a-like won't do.

You'd have to refer to "the dossier" and the 13-year-old who was silenced, Roy Moore accusations - Weinstein - and a hundred others now - to get this level of societal decay as our country knowingly put in office an inexperienced, unprepared and unqualified oligarchic fascist.

Martin - and the movie - actually gets unimaginably worse.

I'd say another similarity to what we are enduring - and facing up to - now.
